This is the best server I have been on, it's simple and no silly EE or silly armor.
However theres some odd stuff going on with things going missing, my base was on the bedrock in a 3000 by 3000 block sea far away from spawn yet someone found it (even with all the down time), Spawn killing has driven away all the new players I see coming on the server, which is a shame as we could use some new blood.
I don't have any ideas on how to make it better, just wanted to point this out.
Again, great server, don't want this one to fade away. Cheers.
